Sounds like a sequel to Her

Alex Garland has done well as a writer and producer for me. LOVE Dredd. I'll check this out.

Why So Blu?

Garland is a pretty damn good novelist, as well. Sounds good to me.

Solid Snake

Oooooh. He's written books too?

Why So Blu?

Yessir!

Solid Snake

your video isnt coming up, Roc.

RocShemp

Weird. Works for me. It's the international trailer.

My only issue is that I fear the trailer makes it too obvious that the kid is also an AI (but doesn't yet know it).

First thing I thought of was a comic book of the same name

Hannibal

This looks great and I believe this is Garland's debut as a director.

Osiris3657

Worth mentioning, this debuted at Sundance and the reviews have been outstanding (94%). Really looking forward to this.

Comes out April 10th.

Why So Blu?

Yup and here's the new American trailer:

That 94% is out of 34 reviews. 2 Rotten and the others being solid.

Osiris3657

Release week bump. I'll try to get out and see this on Friday. My first genuinely anticipated movie of 2015.

Still holding steady on RT at 87% with 50 or so reviews. 73 on Metacritic.

A24? Sweet, that means this will be on Amazon Prime at the end of the year.

The movie has stellar reviews but it's in limited release and is playing nowhere near me. I'd like to see it and hopefully on the 24th when it goes into "semi-wide" release it will be playing at a somewhat local theater.

OldBoy

wow! that looked damn good!!

DaveyJoe

Just skimming the thread and avoiding the trailers. If that is the twist ending and you just spoiled it, I swear...

Why So Blu?

This is playing in Hollywood at the ArcLight but I'm too lazy to go. I'll wait another week or so.

SPiRAL

Same for me at The Landmark, it's showing at noon, I was hoping to catch a morning show. I'll wait another week.

I actually saw it at the Dome last night as I've actually never been there during all my travels to LA.

Why So Blu?

What did you think? I don't usually see movies at the Dome screen anymore due to them being slightly cropped since it's still technically a Cineramadome screen. I think the last flick(s) I saw there was TDKR and The Master.
